Good Job. Interesting reading. Does this page include a spell check as I see misspelled words? I see good examples of suspense and foreshadowing. Good feedback below from the teacher helps the student meet the requirements of the assignment. Revising is a good thing so that the student knows what is expected of them.

Suspense- a state or feeling of excited or anxious(ness) 1) "Dearest Lawrence...such years since I heard anything of you...must come to Indian Island...the most enchanting place...so much to talk over...old days...communion with Nature...bask in sunshine...12:40 from Paddington...meet you at Oakbridge...and his correspondent signed herself with a flourish his every Constance Culmington" Page 2
2) "No, I've never been here before." She added quickly, conscientiously determined to make her position clear at once, "I haven't even seen my employer yet." Page 19
3) "Perhaps, after, all it was Miss Gabrielle Turl who had bought the island. But that theory departed from him as he surveyed his passengers." Page 25
4) "After that the rumours of the gossip writers had started. Indian Island had really been bought by Miss Gabrielle Turl, the Hollywood film star!" Page 2
Foreshawdowing- be a warning or indication of a future event 1) Vera Claythorne thought: "The catering must be very difficult. That's the worst of an island. All the domestic problems are so worrying." P.27 2)"Illuminated by the setting sun, they had their first glimpse of Indian Island jutting up out of the sea to the south". P.22 3)"The boat churned its way round the rock. Now the last house came into view. The south side of the island was quite different. It shelved gently down to the sea. The house was there facing south-low and square and modern-looking with rounded windows lettering in all the light." P.26 4)Vera said, surprised: "it's a long way out." page 22
I have chosen these quotes from the book because I think that the quotes really fit the vocab word suspense or foreshadowing. My sentences for suspense fit the the definition-a state or feeling of excited or anxiousness. I feel the same way about foreshadowing. When you know the definition, I can see that the quote I selected goes with the definition of a warning or future event.
Taylor - Good quotes. Your explanations for choosing the quotes need to be better explained. You show understanding of the two terms based on the quotes your group chose, but the reasons are a bit skimpy.
